C                         G
Build me up don't get me down
             Dm
Weather the storm
       F
Well, life goes on
C                         G
Feelings ebb and flow by hour
                  Dm
You're up in the clouds
             F
And than you sink like a stone

           F
So do you feed yourself with pills
    C
To deaden your ills
        F
Or are you only one love short
     Am
Of happiness
          F
And in a picture on the wall
     C
No glimmer of yourself at all
        Dm
You've left yourself
     F
Far away

C                          G
Build me up, don't mop my brow
              Dm
Weather the storm? No
         F
Because life goes on
C                          G
Missed my only hope right now
                Dm
To soar like a bird
            F
And not to sink like a stone

           F
So do you feed yourself with pills
         C
Oh, to deaden your ills
                 F
Or are you only one love short
     Am
Of happiness
          F
And in a picture on the wall
     C
No glimmer of yourself at all
        Dm
You've left yourself
     F   G
Far away

[Solo] C  G  Dm  F
       C  G  Dm  F

                    F
Oh,so do you feed yourself with pills
          C
To cure you of your ills
            F
Or are you only one love short
         Am
Of the happy days to come
           F
And in a picture on the wall
       C
Can't see your face at all
    Dm
So untie yourself
          F
Because that's all you've got to do
            F
And I can grow a pair of wings
            C
And I can take up flying

Won't be no crying
F
Up in the air
               Am
Looking back down
                           F
And let me tell you, if I talk about gloom
             C
I don't get out of feeling down
     Dm
It strips you of yourself
         Bb
And it splits you from the self
           C
That you know
